Hello everyone, this is my first post on the forum! Before I can begin talking about minimal wave, I gotta introduce my radio show and let others know it exists, because I feel like those who would actually listen to the show don’t know about it in the first place! It’s called “ITALO DISCO MAGIC” and airs Saturday nights from 10pm-12am Eastern Standard Time. It’s broadcast out of Cleveland, Ohio, USA. It can be heard anywhere in the world, but if you are in Europe or other parts of USA, the timezone will be different. I have been on the air since December and my show focuses on 2 styles of music of which I intertwine together: italo disco and minimal wave. I also try to play new italo/minimal music that is being released in 2007-2008. The show can be heard on winamp, real one player, or windows media player. I don’t have a website, but I do have a myspace profile with links to listen to the show in streaming, also all playlists are posted. I have an extensive collection of music but my radio station also has 50,000+ records, often times I see something that even discogs.com doesn’t know exists! :D From “Experimental Products to Trisomie 21” they have it all. It makes me sad how more college radio stations don’t have DJ’s like myself playing this good old stuff! Anyways, I am not trying to advertise my show, but merely tell you guys it is out there, weekly, for free, and anyone can listen. I try to make it the best stuff possible and I play the rarer the better mentality. My url is: http://www.myspace.com/blackpussycatmagic
I also operate the italo disco myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/italodisco1) which includes the history of italo disco music. I am still learning minimal wave day by day and as big of a collector and fan that I am, italo disco is my real passion. Please let me know what you guys think!
